Good things come to those who wait -- and no one has waited longer for a super phone than Palm users. While other manufacturers, such as HTC and RIM, have steamed ahead with all-in-one smart phones that offered almost everything you could need in attractive handsets, Palm lagged behind, like an obnoxious child trying to make a point that didn't make sense to anyone. But things are changing.

Palm's latest offering, the Palm Treo Pro, is Palm's most feature-rich offering to date and comes in what some people are calling an attractive casing. We've seen prettier, but we've been playing around with it for a few days now and our first impressions bode well for the full review. It's solid but not too chunky, it's light but not so light it feels cheap, and there's a 3.5mm jack so you can plug in your own headphones.

Aesthetics aside, the Palm Treo Pro is an accomplished smart phone that runs Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional and packs HSDPA, Wi-Fi and GPS. You can access the Pro using the touchscreen and stylus or the mechanical navigation keys and keypad. The keypad is on the small side, but it works well enough and is good for tapping out long text messages and emails. Click on the next page for more info and pictures. -Andrew Lim.
